How many times do lilies bloom in a year?
This article introduces the blooming frequency of lilies in a year and a brief introduction to the flowering period of ornamental lilies in the field of green plants and flowers. Detailed introduction is as follows.
Lilies have always been a representative in the cut flower industry, and potted lilies are gradually entering every household. Many people enjoy nurturing a pot of fragrant flowers at home and experiencing the process of growing them from bulbs or seedlings to blooming, which is very rewarding. However, many flower enthusiasts are not very familiar with the habits of lilies and often ask questions such as how to make their lilies bloom again after they have withered, how to prune them after blooming, and whether they will bloom next year. Today, MOFO is here to discuss these issues with everyone.
Actually, the process of lilies sprouting, growing slowly, blooming, and withering happens only once a year. Some people say that lilies can bloom twice a year, which is possible but requires manual intervention. This can still damage the bulbs of the lilies. Therefore, MOFO suggests not going against the natural growth structure of the plant. We only need to take proper care to ensure that they can bloom with a rich fragrance again next year.
So, how should we prune lilies after they have withered? Many flower enthusiasts simply cut off the stem section in one go, which is actually incorrect. The correct pruning method is to cut off the entire flower receptacle without cutting off the entire stem. Once the entire stem and leaves are cut off, the plant cannot photosynthesize properly, which fails to accumulate nutrients for the bulb and directly affects the germination rate the following year.
After pruning, do not water excessively, just keep the potting soil moist. Wait until the stem naturally withers, and then cut it all off. My lilies have not been dug up and stored in the refrigerator; I just let them stay in the potting soil, water them occasionally, and make sure the potting soil is not too dry. They still grow robustly the next year, with each plant blooming beautifully!
